About Roots Fruits & Flowers
The Roots and Fruits Story
Glasgow's grocers since 1980
Roots, Fruits and Flowers began in 1980 as a fruit and vegetable merchant in the historic Caledonian Mansions on Great Western Road. Founded by Garth Gulland, the business was built on a simple principle: carefully selecting the finest seasonal produce and building genuine relationships with growers.
We now have a specialist deli counter, an expanding wholefoods range with refillable staples, a flower shop known for its distinctive style – each addition grew naturally from listening to what our community needed. In the same spirit, we opened a second location on Argyle Street in 2011, and most recently, a café in 2024.
Quality at our heart
We've never been about scale or convenience. Every decision, from the produce we stock to the flowers we arrange to the food we serve in our café, reflects our commitment to quality, provenance and care.
Our customers understand that shopping here means buying from people who know where food comes from, who recognise the seasons, and who select with intention rather than commercial pressure. Whether it's a weekly veg box, flowers for an occasion, lunch in the café, or simply gathering ingredients for a meal - Roots, Fruits and Flowers remains rooted in the values Garth established over forty years ago.
